"This is where that mister is. Of course, he might not be here now. So, we're still quite unlucky."
Although there was some tension in the city, it seemed to be relatively stable overall. Some of the defenders of order in the city maintained the peace of the city.
Fei led Gu Zheng through many twists and turns before arriving outside a dilapidated courtyard. Seeing the door that hadn't been cleaned for who knows how many times, Fei said awkwardly, "It's fine.
Although he already had a bad feeling in his heart, Gu Zheng hadn't woken up at that time. Now, looking at the silent Gu Zheng beside him, he felt very depressed.
"It's okay. Let's go to Thunder City. I know people there." Gu Zheng only raised his eyelids and didn't say much.
After knowing the development of the matter, Gu Zheng was convinced of Meng Zhen's carelessness, but he didn't take it to heart. He was very touched by Fei Yi's help.
In fact, he had already swallowed the elixir, but the injury this time was different from the previous time.
This time, Wen Tianhou had "successfully" brought them back, but the other party did not know of their existence. Along the way, they had already exhausted all their strength to resist the remaining power of the other party, not to mention the last time when the other party consciously wanted to get rid of them. Even if the last Colored Glass Fire had blocked most of the remaining power, they had still blocked most of it.
At this moment, he suppressed the special power in his body. Even with the help of the elixir, which quickly healed his internal and external injuries, and even restored his mental strength, the special power still occupied a place and resisted him.
Gu Zheng really didn't have a good way to deal with this situation. He could only wear it down bit by bit and use enough time to eliminate it.
At this time, he could at most exert the cultivation of the Sky Immortal Stage. The other powers had to be suppressed. Once the special power erupted, it would tear him apart.
However, he wasn't worried at this moment because he had a trump card in his hand. It was an absolute life-saving trump card. As long as he wasn't surrounded by a large group, he wouldn't have to worry about his life.
It was a Fifth Ring that could be activated once more. It could at least reach the late stage of Grand Heavenly Realm, enough to fight a short battle.
Of course, the finale was the Cleansing Glass Flames. In that short period of time, the Cleansing Glass Flames had actually condensed into more than three. One of them had already been completely annihilated in order to protect him. There were only two left in the Li Ring.
He knew that using the Azure Fire for defense was overkill. However, in that situation, if it weren't for the Azure Fire's help, they would have been caught or torn apart in the space.
Even if there were only two of them, it would still be enough to be his trump card.
"Thunder City! ............. Demon........... t.... "Fei.....................................
One had to know that even if Zhu Hun wanted to send someone in, it would be impossible.
"Help me hire a few people to escort me there. I'll pay the higher remuneration." Gu Zheng thought for a moment. This was the only way.
"Okay, I'll help you find you." Fei knew this was the best way, but he would try his best to escort him further.
However, he had just taken a few steps when three figures turned a corner in the distance and directly faced him.
"Mister Liu!"
Fei looked at the three people in front of him in surprise and shouted.
He didn't expect the other party to appear here at this time. Judging from the other party's appearance, he was obviously going back to his former home. His luck was really good.
"Oh, it's you. What's the matter?" Mister Liu looked at Fei Yi in front of him and thought for a moment. Then, he remembered the other party's identity. He didn't look impatient after being stopped and smiled.
"What a coincidence. We were just about to leave when you came. Please help me take a look at my friend." Fei Yi didn't care about hiring people at this time. He directly walked up and said eagerly. At the same time, he pointed his finger at Gu Zheng, whose back he could only see.
"My master is not in a good state right now. If there's anything, let's talk about it in a few days." His eldest disciple said impolitely.
"That's right. My master has been traveling for so long. No matter what, he needs to rest." The little girl next to him also said somewhat tactfully.
"You can't say that. The other party is injured. Naturally, he is anxious. If I am injured, I'm afraid you will be even more anxious. How many times have I told you to put yourself in his shoes?" Mister Liu said to the two disciples with a straight face.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong." The tall man and the little girl admitted their mistake at the same time.
"I was reckless. Mister Liu, please take a rest first. At least drink some water first."
The three of them were travel-worn and had big and small bags on their bodies. At a glance, it was obvious that they didn't have much rest. They rushed all the way here and ended up being blocked in front of the other party's house. Mister Liu was a little too excited. It was no wonder that the other party was unhappy.
He had a favor to ask of the other party. If the other party was slightly dissatisfied, no one would be able to tell. It was better not to fool the other party.
"That's fine. I'll put down the things in my hands and show them to your friend." Mister Liu didn't refuse.
Although the things on his body weren't too precious, it was still somewhat inconvenient to carry them.
"Please. If there's anything you need, please tell me." Fei Yi was like a housekeeper. He was very attentive. If the other party hadn't refused his help, he would have even helped the other party carry those bags.
The little girl followed outside with a small bag hanging on her head. When she saw the house where she was about to rest and thought that she could have a good rest, she also let out a sigh of relief.
She followed her senior brother and master to the door and waited for her master to open the door. However, from the corner of her eyes, she saw the man lying next to her. Although she could only see the side of his face from this angle, he gave her a familiar feeling. She couldn't help but move her feet and take a few steps forward. Her puzzled face immediately turned pale with fright. She shouted at her master in a panic.
"Master, master, it's Mister Gu. Look, it's Mister Gu."
"What?"
After Mister Liu heard this, the key in his hand also fell to the ground. He also quickly threw away the messy bag on his body. His movements were so big that the things in the bag spilled all over the ground. He didn't care, not to mention entering the house. He directly turned his head and walked towards Gu Zheng.
"It really is Mister Gu. Quickly come and help." Mister Liu took a closer look. He was no longer as calm as before. He directly shouted at his own ground.
The two people behind also threw down the things on their bodies and hurriedly leaned to the side. They wanted to help Mister Liu lift Gu Zheng down. However, they found that Gu Zheng's body was very heavy. They only managed to lift him down with Fei Yi's help. As for the other person, he had already tactfully picked up the key and opened the door. He also conveniently picked up the scattered things on the ground.
"I'm fine. Don't be so agitated."
Gu Zheng also opened his eyes at this time. When he saw that it was actually a familiar person, he also felt that the world was too small. Fei Yi actually brought him here and was looking for him. No wonder he felt that the voice was a little familiar.
Seeing that Gu Zheng's breathing was more stable, Mister Liu also calmed down and began to give him a simple diagnosis.
If it was someone else, he would have tidied up and drank some water first. This was because he had already roughly felt that the patient's body was stable and was not in a hurry. However, if it was Gu Zheng, it was different. The three of them, master and disciple, could be said to have all received his life-saving grace. How could they neglect him?
"Mister Gu, what's wrong with you?" The little girl stared with her big eyes and asked curiously as she met Gu Zheng's eyes.
"I was fighting with others and suffered minor injuries. It's actually not a big deal." Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"What do you mean it's not a big deal? The power condensed in your body almost hindered your control of your body. It doesn't look like there's much of a problem with your voice. I'm afraid you can't even walk."
As soon as Gu Zheng finished speaking, Mister Liu had already briefly checked his body. Seeing that the other party was so careless, he immediately said bluntly.
"More or less. At most, it'll take some time and I'll be able to walk." Gu Zheng did not expect the other party to be so merciless and directly expose his lie. However, feeling the other party's concern in his tone, he laughed and went straight to the other party.
"Master, we have to move him inside. The other party's breathing is stable. It seems that he has already suppressed his injuries." His eldest disciple, who was also the man Gu Zheng had saved, said calmly from the side.
"Okay, I'll have to trouble you to help carry him." Mister Liu also understood the meaning of his eldest disciple and said to Fei Yi beside him. There was no trace of coldness from before.
"No problem. Just put him on him and bring him in. I'll do the rest of the chores." Fei Yi directly took over the rest of the tasks.
The little girl followed beside Gu Zheng, raised her head and continued to say, "My master said that lying is not good. Hiding your illness for fear of treatment will delay your recovery."
"Okay, okay, I got it. I'll definitely cooperate. Maybe I'll have to rely on you." Gu Zheng looked at the other party's serious expression and could only cooperate.
Mister Liu was right. He was almost unable to move now. Only by reducing the amount of energy in his body to a certain extent would he be able to regain basic mobility. This was also the reason why he had not moved since he woke up.
"That's good. Last time, you saved my senior brother and my master. Now, let me save you." The little girl raised a small hand and gestured in the air. It seemed that she had already displayed her profound medical skills on Gu Zheng's body.
"If you came to save him, the other party would already be lying on the ground like a corpse. You're still blindly working. Go and tidy up the things outside. If there's anything useful inside, you'll have saved it."
Without waiting for Gu Zheng to speak to the little girl, Mister Liu spoke first.
"Okay, master."
Hearing this, she no longer followed Gu Zheng and walked outside. She also knew that this was all she could do.
"Haha, I've really troubled you, Mister Liu." Gu Zheng looked at the person he had saved before and also laughed.
"Mister Gu, you're too kind. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid that the three of us would have already been killed by others. This is what I should do. Your problem is more serious and will need some time." Mister Liu also hurriedly said.
"Then I'll leave everything to you." Gu Zheng did not speak anymore and immediately closed his eyes.
The other party seemed to have a way to deal with the special energy in his body. Even if he could only remove a little, it was not bad. At least he would not be like a cripple who could not move while lying there.
This treatment lasted for close to a month. Fei Yi stayed here for a full month, busying himself with all kinds of things.
"Okay, I didn't expect your methods to be so strong. It's simply beyond my expectations."
Standing in the middle of the courtyard, when he came down from above, he was pleasantly surprised to find that more than half of the energy in his body had been removed. The remaining energy was like sticky candy. Mister Liu could not do anything about it. This already made him very satisfied.
At least more than half of his cultivation had been restored. He could also walk without hindrance. This was what made him really satisfied.
"I'm ashamed to say this. This power is beyond my expectations. I've already tried my best, but this is all I can do." Although he said this, Mister Liu still had a proud expression on his face.
To be able to achieve such results in just a month, even he was a little surprised. He had also gained a lot of experience. Although he had consumed more things, it was still worth it for Gu Zheng.
"I've taken up too much of your time. I have to go to Thunder City. There are still some things there, so I have to leave now."
In the courtyard, Gu Zheng stretched his limbs a little before speaking to Mister Liu.
It was shameful to say that the other party had only come here to rest for two days before leaving. They had received the City Lord's request, but in the end, they had spent so much time on Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng felt a little apologetic. This was something he had asked the little girl in private.
"You don't want to rest for a few more days?" Mister Liu knew Gu Zheng's intention, but still asked.
"No, I have urgent matters. I've really troubled you these days. You've already helped me a lot. I don't know how to thank you." Gu Zheng waved his hand.
On one hand, he didn't want to delay Mister Liu any longer. On the other hand, he really had to leave. Cong Fei had brought news from the City Lord that almost everyone had gathered in Thunder City. He had to hurry over.
He still knew that Little Cat was still waiting for him to recover in the pagoda. He had to hurry over. Coincidentally, he also had to attend for Pan Xuan and Madam Xue. He wanted to let others know that their power hadn't decreased. Only in this way could Pan Xuan and the others move more conveniently.
He also knew that Little Ying was still waiting for him inside. He had delayed for too long and felt uneasy. Therefore, after the treatment, he didn't want to stay here for a moment longer.
Seeing that Gu Zheng had made up his mind, Mister Liu didn't say anything else. He only told Gu Zheng not to use his full strength and watched Gu Zheng and the others leave.
Gu Zheng didn't need to rest. They hadn't rested for a month. They had to rest for a few days before they could continue their journey.
"Brother Fei, thank you for your company these days. I will engrave it in my heart. Let's part ways here."
After leaving the city gate, Gu Zheng said to Fei. He had seen everything that Fei had done.
"Young Master Gu, this is what I should do. You don't know this, but we, the Foreign Soul Tribe, are very grateful to you. After your introduction, we connected with that elder, and he helped us a lot," Fei said solemnly.
"That's our fate. Alright, even if you send me off, you won't be able to do it for long. Moreover, it's very conspicuous. Why don't I hide myself and travel alone? It's safer." Gu Zheng smiled and changed the topic.
"Alright, then Senior Gu, we won't follow you anymore. If you need anything in the future, please come find us. All of the Foreign Souls are your friends."
With that said, Fei didn't insist. Even if they escorted him, it was only a two day journey. Any further and it would truly be dangerous. Just like Gu Zheng said, it would only bring more danger to Gu Zheng.
"En."
Gu Zheng nodded and left without looking back.
.....
"Senior Soul."
Gai Jin respectfully stood below and shouted at Zhu Hun.
"How did your mission go? After so long without any news, I thought you guys were killed by those Soul Alliance fellows."
Zhu Hun whispered an order into his subordinate's ear. Once he left and only the two of them were left in the room, Zhu Hun spoke.
"Sorry, I failed to live up to senior's trust." Gai Jin didn't explain and lowered his head.
"Trust? Do you know that in this period of time, we had a few secret locations outside that were found and destroyed by the enemy? How much have we lost? That's only secondary. These few battles have already alerted Soul Alliance. "Zhu Hun stood up and walked in front of Gai Jin. He stared at him as he spoke.
"Senior Soul, the enemy is truly too cunning. I've used many methods but still couldn't find any traces of the enemy."
Gai Jin was about to explain when Zhu Hun rudely interrupted him.
"Of course the enemy is cunning. However, I'm not listening to your excuses. I'm only asking if you have any concrete information about the enemy."
"Yes, yes. According to all the information gathered, the enemy didn't seem to have appeared here before. Moreover, they aren't our Demon Souls, nor are they from the Lonely Peak. They aren't even a common species in the Great Desolation. Moreover, they are very aggressive and powerful. Not only that, there's also …"
Gai Jin hurriedly told all the information he knew in full detail.
Zhu Hun already knew a portion of it, but there was still a portion he didn't know. Only then did his expression turn for the better. He turned around and returned to his seat. Only after the other party finished speaking did he fall into deep thought. After a while, he raised his head and spoke.
"Your final guess is that the enemy seems to have come from a place we haven't explored. There aren't many of them. Are you sure?"
"Yes. However, whether or not they came from afar is only a guess. After all, none of us have explored that place. There definitely aren't many of them. I'm absolutely sure of this." Gai Jin quickly thought before speaking with certainty.
"Soul Alliance didn't obtain much information. Although the enemy is somewhat vigilant, they haven't come towards us. I still think there are people causing trouble in the shadows. In a moment, come with me and send this information up. I have a bad feeling and need Heavenly King to make a judgment." Zhu Hun cautiously said.
"There aren't many of them. If senior didn't tell us not to act rashly and alert the enemy, we would have taken the opportunity to eliminate them. I've already found a few of their tails. If we search for a while longer, we can completely grasp their tracks." Gai Jin was a bit confused, but still carefully asked.
"Don't. Things aren't that simple. Without my orders, don't be impulsive. Right now, the big picture is the most important. Come with me."
Zhu Hun stood up and spoke to Gai Jin before walking into the room.
Gai Jin quickly followed, but there was still a trace of unwillingness in the depths of his eyes.
